A shadow beam flew at my face. I doged it and shot a lightning bolt at Keegan, only for him to teleport away into the shadows, which there were many of. I turned into a bat and hung on the ceiling, scooping up any sounds there were in the room. I heard Keegan's evil minions(, yes he has minions,) coming towards me. When they were under me, I turned into a falcon and sank my talons into one's shoulder and slammed him into the other. Then I ran to help the others, who were fighting Keegan. But just as I got there, two of Keegan's minions grabbed John and Nate and pulled them away.
"Let me GO!!!" Nate screamed. I watched my friends be dragged away.
"It's time we talked..."
And everything went dark.

I woke in a different room. I was cold. I tried to move, but I found that everything was frozen but my head.
"Do you always sleep this late?" Keegan was in front of me. I glared at him and he said,"What? Oh yeah, I had you frozen. Riiiiiiiiight."
"Don't play dumb, you filthy little pain in the back!" "I'm hurt!" Keegan said sarcastically.
"Just get to the point! Why did you bring me here?"
"So we could talk."
I remembered the last words I heard before I blacked out. We need to talk.
"About what, what my favorite color is?" (Sky Blue!)
"No, I want to make a deal. Aren't you sick of how immature your... Friends... Are?" Yes...
"And how you have to act like their babysitter?" Yes...
"I notice you are by far the best in your team."
"You flatter me." I said sarcastically.
"So don't you think you should have a break?" Yes...
"So I offer you a spot on my side, Skyler. Join me, and help me enslave the world!"
"No."
"Well then I'll leave you here to rot!"
"Um, actually NO!" I breathed out a rain storm, and it struck me with lightning, melting the ice. I burst out of the cave and flew home.
"Wrong choice Skyler, wrong choice..."
